(+) Yeah! (+)

Who? I met Bone Thugs N Harmony after a show nearby

They had a meet-n-greet that cost 20 dollars or so to get something signed, but I didnt pay for it. I just started talking to one of the producers as they packed stuff up and had a really good conversation, then we went backstage and smoked weed

I was absolutely star struck, didnt really talk much and didnt stick around too long but I was really happy to be there

Owen Hart

Nice. Wish I could have met him. I hear he was a smart ass so we'd get along or he'd kill me in cold blood who knows.

I did meet The British Bulldog and The Warlord outside LAX, That's about when I realized wrestling was fake in 1991.

Had some lunatic insist my mother was Sally Field once in Amarillo or Abilene, one of those dump Texas towns. He held the door open for her and stared at her the whole time and I stepped in his way so I could get in before him. He didn't like it, but he knew I wasn't fucking around.

Does before they were famous count?

Because I had freshman science class with Ian Kinsler in high school.

Nah. He was really cool. It was a house show in Cincinnati. He came up to me, my dad, and the dad and two kids sitting in front of us before the show even started and talked to all 5 of us for like 10 minutes. It was great!

Thats pretty cool. How was he back in high school? Im a Sox fan and he always came off super douchey to me.

My brother-in-law is good friends with Kliff Kingsbury and we got together for a weekend last year. Cool dude for sure

Yeah a good bit of athletes and some musicians, both were job related except when I used to go to Atlanta Thrashers NHL practice and like 2 other fans showed up. The coaches and players talked with us a lot, gave us pucks and signed stuff.

We didn't really talk or get along much. He was popular-ish, I wasn't. That sort of thing.

I've opened for a lot of big musical acts

Last random famous person encounter was Jon Lovitz. He came to the place we were playing with his dog just to meet twenty something women I'm pretty sure. He had just finished a set at some venue that was at least a 20 minute Uber away.

one time I was in London when David Blaine did some stunt involving sitting in a glass ball. I waved and he waved but there was like a thousand people around so he probably wasn't waving at me

I worked at a bar/restaurant right next to the sports venue in Philadelphia for a few years and Ive met many professional athletes and pro wrestlers during my time there.
